I installed Ubuntu 14.04 from a DVD (all the files were there) onto my HP laptop. It used to be Windows 8 but a friend of mine put windows 7 on it instead so secure boot and fast boot are disabled. Ubuntu installed but now on start up it goes straight to Windows. I don't know how to get back onto Ubuntu as if I leave the DVD in the options are to "Install Ubuntu, try demo (something like that), OEM for manufacturers or exit."

I saw articles on here about fixing this from the Ubuntu terminal but if I can't get Ubuntu to load (because I tried the solution in the demo and it didn't work.) How do I go about this?

Literally spent last 4 hours trying to figure this out and I'm sure I'm coming across as a total noob but any help would be much appreciated.

  • After adding the Boot Repair PPA, you need to go in and change the distribution from trusty to saucy. This is because there is no package for trusty. To do this, run nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list and change the references of trusty to saucy. – saiarcot895 Jul 17 '14 at 18:26
